Good news for team Lithuania :LTU after the first day of Lithuanian Athletics cup. Giedrė Kupstytė broke her PB from 16.06 to 16.72 in Shot Put and qualified for The European Athletics Championships. Sakalauskas and Grinčikaitė were a couple of hundreds of seconds away from the standard respectfully. And this is not long after Sakalauskas' long time running coach death during one of their training camps abroad, that was a huge blow for him emotionally.

More news from the second day of Lithuanian Athletics Cup. Both of our youngsters broke national records in Javelin Throw. Edis Matusevičius 80.22 (U23, U19 records, third best in Lithuanian history), Liveta Jasiūnaitė 61.32 (U23 record, the 4th Lithuanian thrower to ever beat the 60m.) Also, Lina Grinčikaitė reached the European Championship standard in 200m, but I think it does not count, because there was too much helpful wind.

90 minutes is a huge jump in time for a 10000m race :d
